Thankful Update and More!
God is great….all the time. He would be great if my wife (or I) had cancer. He would be great if He chose to heal. He would be great if in His wisdom He said “No” to healing. The ultimate healing will come to all who trust Jesus and receive eternal life through Him and it will come in the next life after this one is over. We have the “deposit” of the Holy Spirit within us as our guarantee of that.
Thank You for Your Prayers
No one has said to us, “Be warmed and fed” and went their way. They have succeeded in putting love in action so that they become the arms, the feet, the expression of God in the way they love. We are so very grateful and please, for those who can “only” pray, do not think of yourselves as being “less than.” Your prayers are so very important! It’s simply that those who are geographically closer have the opportunity to do more if they are able. It all starts with prayer.
Personal Request for Prayer
As you can imagine, we were stunned and didn’t know how to proceed. We met with the plastic surgeon who works in conjunction with the breast doctor and were pleased to learn that this wouldn’t be his first rodeo. In fact, this particular plastic surgeon had pioneered numerous breast reconstruction surgeries in Europe and the United States. It was interesting that he was “coincidentally” in our neck of the woods.
Is It This or That?
The Jews could not grasp what Jesus said. In Matthew 24, He used the word “this” to reference a generation and it seems clear enough (though there is plenty of disagreement), that He ultimately was referring to the generation that would be alive during the coming Tribulation, which would end as He returned. However, there is also a near/far view because things certainly started with the generation living at the time of Jesus, didn’t it?
Don’t Be Conformed but Be Transformed
Do you want power to do what Paul outlines in Romans 12:9-21? It is in these verses that Paul provides numerous examples of what it means to actually live the Christian life. That is quite a list, but who can do that?! Who can actually live from the inside out the things that Paul highlights there?

Can People Be Good?
There is an implied question between verses 23 and 24 with the use of the word “for.” Why did Barnabas do what he did? Because “…he was a good man…” (v. 24). Barnabas was a “good” man according to the Scriptures. But wait, I thought God said that all have sinned and fallen short of His glory and that our righteousness is filthy? Yes, God has said that and it is true.
Push Toward Globalism Continues
There is also a Deep State circus happening in DC, specifically with respect to the Senate. Dems and a few RINOs are pulling out all the stops to ensure that Brett Kavanaugh does not become the next Supreme Court Justice. To this end, they have trotted out Dr. Ford to accuse Kavanaugh of rape some 35 years ago. Because of her claim, many on the Left simply choose to believe her. However, much of her testimony is virtually falling apart and the many connections Ford has to the CIA, the Dems and the Deep State is coming out.
Micah Explains True Religion in One Short Verse
Micah also states that we should “love kindness.” What does that mean? It means we should endeavor to be kind to all people and by its very nature, it means that we put our own wants and needs on the back burner. You cannot be concerned about how others “feel” if you are concerned primarily with yourself. To be kind means to always think in terms of how the other person feels. What’s happening with them? What are they having to deal with? How can I make their life easier?

Daniel 11, Part 2
If Daniel 11 shows us anything, it shows us that God is intimately involved in humanity’s affairs is actively directs things to the climax of this age so that His purposes – all of them will be accomplished – while still allowing humanity to have some semblance of free will, in spite of the fall of man.
